It consists of a Return Pumps, Solenoid Valves,
Damping Chamber, Accumulator, Non-Return Valve
and Motor. It forms the link between the TMC and
the foundation brakes. It implements the commands
issued by the ECU by using solenoid valves to
control the pressure at the foundation brakes.
There are four pairs
(4-channel system)
of Inlet and
Outlet valves located in the modulator. Solenoid
valves are responsible for modulating the pressure in
the wheel brake during active ABS control.
The Return Pump element is installed in the center
of the modulator and is driven by an electric Motor.
The pump transfers the brake fluid emerging from
the wheel brakes through the accumulator on its way
back to the TMC The pump and valve actuation can
be felt on the foot pedal as pulsations. In order to
prevent damage to the TMC primary seals from the
compensating port, the design of TMC is changed to
central valve type
(CV/CV).
The accumulator absorbs the surge in brake fluid
that accompanies the pressure reduction phase. The
Damping Chamber suppresses pressure oscillations
within the hydraulic system, preventing them from
being propagated back to the brake pedal and
reduces noise levels in the system
